Updated projections for Bucs' 53-man roster

Updated projections for Bucs' 53-man roster

Just like the rest of the NFL, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have some hard decisions to make in the coming days, as they pare down their roster to the final 53-man group they’ll take into the 2018 regular season.

As the team prepares for their final preseason game, here’s an updated look at how the team’s final 53-man roster could look heading into Week 1.

QUARTERBACK

Jameis Winston

Ryan Fitzpatrick

Ryan Griffin

Most teams prefer to carry just two active quarterbacks, but I’m betting the Bucs think too highly of Griffin not to keep him around. With Winston suspended for the first three games of the regular season, Griffin will be the backup to Fitzpatrick anyway. Once Winston returns, Griffin will give them quality depth at the game’s most important position, while Fitzpatrick’s experience makes him a strong backup option if Winston were to suffer another injury.
